[ARCHIVED] How courses are combined when PeopleSoft integrated with Canvas directly

[kimhuang]

Hi Folks,

Can you shed some light on the following question:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you ask/research the Campus Community members who use PeopleSoft
direct to Canvas on how they manage combining and separating courses? 
This is a question Sushma is interested in understanding as we explore
the idea of course and user data going from PS to Canvas directly.

Hi @kimhuang 

If you have crosslisted your courses in Peoplesoft you will not have to crosslist them in Canvas.  Is that what you are asking about?

[kimhuang]

Hi @scottdennis Thanks so much for your reply. Just want to clarify that the question is about the courses not officially x-listed as far as the Registrar is concerned, but done upon special requested just in Canvas, but not recorded in PS.

Best  regards,

-Kim

Hello @kimhuang.  We are a Canvas/PeopleSoft institution and do this a lot.  When you cross-list in Canvas, Canvas retains the sections (really helpful for many reasons) and this is what links back to PeopleSoft.  So, cross-listing has no impact with syncing of courses.
